Ancient Wisdom, Practically Taught New Moon School is an online school for the esoteric arts. We teach tarot, astrology, numerology, Reiki, the Enneagram and related practices the way we would want to learn them ourselves: properly, step by step, at your own pace, and honestly about what they can and cannot do. We see these arts as tools for reflection, guidance and insight, not as a way to predict a fixed future. That is how we teach them, and it is how we teach you to read for others: with care, with clear boundaries and with the focus on choices a person can actually make. No psychic gift is needed. Just a real interest and the willingness to practise. A Recognised Certificate Pass the final assessment with a score of 80% or more and you can download and print your certificate straight away. Our certification courses are accredited by ICAHP, IPHM, CMA, CPD and NCCAP, accreditations used across the holistic field. They show that a course meets a recognised standard. They are not a university degree or a government licence.
Good!
A lot of information.
Very engaging and very relevant for my work!
The information so far has been very good. The audio recordings, however do you have a hard time pronouncing certain words and names right.. If someone were to only listen and not read the pages as well, they might not understand everything correctly.
Looking good so far
Only missing real human connection.
This course offered a wonderful introduction to sylvotherapy and the healing dynamics of time spent in the forest. The lessons were accessible, engaging, and rooted in a genuine appreciation for the natural world. I enjoyed learning about tree symbolism, why we’re drawn to certain trees, the aromatherapy components, and the brief examples of plants used in indoor sessions. The explanations of concepts like phytoncides and negative ions made the material feel alive and grounded. That said, there’s room for growth. Forest ecosystems are vast, interconnected worlds, and a deeper look into additional facets — medicinal plants, forest herbs, insect interactions, soil ecology, and the broader web of woodland life — would enrich the curriculum immeasurably. These areas are essential to understanding the full story of how forest environments support health and balance. Overall, it’s a strong foundation with room to expand into the deeper wisdom the forest has to offer.
Honestly not what I expected. This is my first herbalism course so I have nothing to compare it too. I can not give five stars because I feel at times some stuff was brushed over and I had to do a bit of research on my own to gain a full understanding. Overall, very decent espec
Since I switched to audio, I like it better. Some of the questions are a bit obscure to me. I recently completed a mindful certificate program so I do have answers from my experience. I believe I will re-listen to the audio as I want to absorb all of the info.
As a newly certified sylvotherapist and someone coming from a professional background outside traditional wellness, I found this course both enlightening and rewarding. It does an excellent job of grounding forest bathing in science and explaining the physiological and psychological benefits of spending time in nature. The modules on forest chemistry and sensory activation were especially valuable and will continue to inform my own nature-based practice. Overall, the course provides a strong foundation for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of the forest’s healing power. I am grateful for what I learned and look forward to applying these principles in my own work with authenticity and respect.
The course was quite thorough and enlightening.
It’s a great overview.
I wish there was more content relevant to North America and the tips that therapists could consider from a decolonized perspective.
easy to follow
Very good experience thanks to the notions I pumped into. The practice with other members and interaction about the studied object to conduct sessions would be a surplus. Thanks
This was a great intro course to Sylvotherapy with a lot of tools and exercises that can be used right away to offer Sylvotherapy to friends, family, and to start a career in the field. There is a lot of reading and so if you are more of a visual person then this may be a bit of a challenge. However, as you can complete it at your own pace, it is still a really great first step!
